About Us

 

Welcome to Arab American Casting (MiddleEasternActors.com), a premier casting service founded by Hamzah Saman, CSA, a proud member of the Casting Society of America. We are dedicated to connecting talented actors of Middle Eastern, North African, and Southeast Asian (MENASA) descent with filmmakers and producers who are committed to authentic storytelling. Our mission is to promote diversity and inclusion, and to change the narrative in Hollywood.

Our Story

 

The idea for Arab American Casting was born from Hamzah's extensive experience in the industry. As a SAG-AFTRA actor who moved from Lebanon, he saw a need for a platform that could showcase the incredible depth of talent within the MENASA community. His work on major productions, including the documentary He Named Me Malala and his role in the Casting Department for the 2019 film Aladdin, reinforced his passion for finding the perfect talent for every role. He also helped with casting in the award-winning film Argo.
